ARTICLE 1: FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS

Section 1. BudgetThe Condominium is a form of ownership where property is in common. The Board of Directorsprepares an estimated annual budget of the maintenance, repairs, improvements, administration,

and services for the common property. The budget is presented at the Annual Meeting of theAssociation. Owners may request a copy of the current years estimated budget from theAssociation. Each owner is financially responsible for 1/12 of any annual budget.

Section 2. Collection of Payments from OwnersThe Association is a managing entity strictly for the common affairs of its member owners. On amonthly basis, the Association collects a specified payment from each owner for the purpose ofmanaging and preserving common property. The Association does not issue monthly invoices. Itis the legal obligation of owners to make payments on time, allowing the Association to managethe common assets whose interest is integral to ownership. If an owner has paid late and/or not infull, such owner continues to consume common property and services for which they are in

default, thereby adding additional expense burdens to the remaining ownership.

Section 3. Condominium FeeThe Condominium is a form of ownership where property is in common. To pay formaintenance, repairs, improvements, administration, and services for the common property, eachindividual owner pays regularly into a common fund. The Association estimates an annualbudget for common expenses and each owner is legally responsible for 1/12 of the total annualexpenses. An owner can pay the annual portion due in its entirety at any time during a fiscalyear, or in 12 equal monthly installments. If an owner elects to pay in 12 equal monthlyinstallments, such monthly installments will be considered the minimum payment that an ownercan make. Condominium fees are dependent on operation requirements, hence rates can easilychange, and it is customary for new rates to go into effect at the beginning of the fiscal year,starting the first of January. However, if budget revisions are needed during a fiscal year, theBoard will notify the owners of any fee adjustment.

Section 4. AssessmentThe levying of an assessment for all condominium units becomes necessary when unforeseenexpenses arise and/or when maintenance, repair, and improvement plans are scheduled andrequire time to accumulate the sizeable funding to realize their outcomes. The estimatedassessment is levied in whole upon each unit and can be paid in its entirety at any time, or inequal monthly installments for the duration of a finite period. If an owner elects to pay in 12equal monthly installments for a given fiscal year, such monthly installments will be consideredthe minimum payment that an owner can make.

a. General Assessment: An assessment levied on all units equally.b. Special Assessment: An assessment equally levied upon more than one condominium

unit, but less than twelve.c. Individual Unit Assessment: An assessment levied upon one condominium unit owner for

specific reasons.

ARTICLE 2: COMMON AREA PRESERVATION & SANITATION

Condominium property values and common maintenance, repair, and improvement expenses arehighlyaffected by the absence of sanitation, uniformity, and neatness.

Section 1. Owner Responsibilitya. Owners are responsible for maintaining their respective condominium unit in goodcondition, both interior and exterior. Owners are accountable for maintaining a clean andtidy appearance on the exterior front and back areas of their unit at all times. While theAssociation may provide specific services with regards to maintenance, repairs, andimprovements of the limited/common elements, it remains the obligation of owners tokeep areas and elements impeccable and arranged well on a regularbasis. For example,every unit is provided porch lights, address plate, mailbox, front door and windows, andan owner is expected to wipe grime off such respective items regularly. Likewise, backarea decks, fences, and concrete patios must also be swept and maintained stain-free.Hence, while the Association provides an operable nest, a resident is expected to

maintain that nest clean on a regularbasis.b. Owners are also expected to help keep clean the overall common areas belonging to thecondominium, and not simply their immediate space. It is a condominium communityeffort to clean and keep the larger nest free of debris (cigarette butts, plastic bags, andthe like); owners should pick up and throw such items into the common trash container.Therefore, if an owner makes note of a downspout out of place, they should correct it andnot wait for someone else to do so.

Section 2. Use of Common Front Yards & Parking ArenaThe common front yard areas and the parking lot arena are not to be used for:

a. Sunbathing and/or generally resting in lawn furniture or hammock.b. Gathering space for any type of event or party.c. Playing of games or sports.d. Cleaning and/or repairing personal effects.e. Storing or setting up of personal equipment, tools, canopy, construction materials, etc.,

for the conduct of interior or exterior construction.f. Displaying and selling of personal effects.

Section 3. Use of Common Back Yards, Decks, Concrete Patiosa. The common back yard areas, along with decks and concrete patios, are not to be used as

a storage area, with objects indiscriminately piled and/or covered by tarps.b. The decks and patios are intended for personal use where lawn furniture and related

articles can be neatly arranged and/or displayed.c. Board permission is required for the storing or setting up of personal equipment, tools,

canopy, construction materials, etc., for the conduct of construction. Such request mustbe for a limited time only and cannot generally interfere with the Associationsmaintenance.

The guidelines areperiodically updated and serve to provide boundaries. The guidelines are not frivolous, but ratherthe result of the Associations collective experience.

ARTICLE 6: ALTERATIONS & ADDITIONS

Changes to a condominium unit incite consequences that only the Association is able to evaluate.The Board of Directors is aware of the entire scope of operations and can assess the implicationsof an alteration or addition. Changes to the inside of a unit can also affect common property.

Hence all proposed changes to a unit are required to be evaluated by the Board of Directorsbefore an owner moves ahead with implementation. At times, a brief verbal discussion with theBoard of Directors is sufficient for an owner to comprehend the worthiness of submitting aproposal or abandoning a project altogether. Regardless of the size of alteration or addition, theBoard of Directors must consider how it affects (a) Association costs and common elements, (b)building insurance policies, (c) neighboring units, and (d) future implications to commonelements. It is the experience of the Association that even the most benign, seemingly innocentchanges, be they interior or exterior, have profound implications unbeknownst to owners.

Section 1. Submission of ProposalAn owner must submit a written proposal to the Association for consideration. The Association

must approve all alterations and additions to the common elements, in writing, before aninstallation can be made. This includes, but is not limited to, the installation of A/C units, animalpens, landscaping gardens, sump pumps, radon mitigation system, child play stations, storageunits, deck roofs, sky-lights, etc.

Section 2. Unit Owner Responsibilitya. The approval of an addition or alteration does not constitute responsibility on the part of

the Association. Unit owners remain responsible for alterations and additions and areconsidered exceptional personal aspects on the common property, not cared for throughAssociation funds.

b. Approved and implemented alterations and additionsmay be removed by resolutionof the Board of Directors if such installations thereafter adversely affect Associationmaintenance, insurance, regulations, common elements, equity to other unit owners, orother. Owners are responsible for the entire cost of removal, restoration, and damages tocommon property.

c. Alterations and additions made without approvalof the Association are a violation ofthe by-laws and are subject to removal by the Association without warning. Owners areresponsible for the entire cost of removal, restoration, and damages to common property.

d. Approved or otherwise, alterations and additions are considered a privilege, and neverdevelop into an acquired right regardless of the length of time an installation has been ineffect.

e. Alterations and additions must be well maintained in every aspect by owners, and mustalso be updated accordingly or by request of the Board of Directors to match othercommon elements. Hence, if changes are made to the common elements for any reason,the alteration and addition must also be altered commensurately.

f. The recordation of alterations and additions is communicated to buyers through theCertificate of Resale. All alterations and additions, approved or otherwise by theAssociation, are the responsibility of the unit owner and passes onto future buyers.

ARTICLE 7: LEASING

Leasing within a condominium form of ownership is highly complex because of levels ofresponsibility, by-law restrictions, operational and insurance protocols that directly and indirectlyaffect this circumstance, and external laws that also mandate requirements. Most owners are

unaware of city ordinances, zoning limits, permit requirements, etc. Depending on exactcircumstance, what can be an innocent offering to a friend to stay as a guest can be considered alegal tenancy that invokes a myriad of obligations. It is therefore highly advisable that ownersdirect their concerns and plans to the Board of Directors prior to considering any changes inliving arrangement. Potential buyers should consult the Association with regards to leasingbefore considering a permanent investment.

Section 1. Leasing Requisitesa. Owners may lease their condominium town home unit for residential purposes, no sooner

than one year (365 days) from the effective date of purchase, under a written lease for aterm of at least 30 days, providing that the lease is made subject to all provisions as affect

the owner himself/herself and to the end that the tenant shall be bound at least as is theowner with reference to possession, use, and occupancy, and in all ways pertainingthereto.

b. A condominium town home unit that is leased withinthe effective date of purchase and365 days, is in violation of the regulations, and the Association has the authority toremedy through legal action. Penalties shall apply as follows: Equal to 75% of the total rental revenue established by written or verbal lease

agreement. All applicable lease violation charges. All applicable court costs and associated fees related to legal proceedings.

c. Owners, and their tenants, must abide by existing federal, state, and local laws andordinances pertaining to matters of rental housing such as, but not limited to, fair housingpractices, noise, animal, housing permits, occupancy, and the like. Specifically, nocondominium unit shall be leased, in whole or in part, by any person unless it is first incompliance with the ordinance for Rental Housing set forth by the Centre Region CodeAdministration. Occupancy of a condominium town home unit by any person other thanthe owner of record shall be presumed to require a rental license.

d. Owners, and their tenants, must abide by Maplewood Condominium AssociationscurrentDeclaration, Code of Regulations, Regulations of the Council, and all futureregulations promulgated by the Association.

Section 2. Leasing Provisoa. The Association is an organization with a specific membership (Maplewood

Condominium owners) and it is obliged to communicate directly with its members. TheAssociation will communicate officially onlywith an owner of a condominium townhome unit, be it leased, vacant, or owner-occupied. The Board of Directors is notaccountable to an owners guest, tenant, or representative. The Association will notcommunicate with an owners representative if acquired for the purposes of propertymanagement. Owners have the responsibility to communicate information to other partiessuch as guests, tenants, and hired representatives.


16/29


b. Condominium owners and their tenants are jointly and severally liable. Hence, allconsequences stemming from a tenants action and inaction are the responsibility of theowner. If any action or inaction falls outside of the Associations by-laws, it will becommunicated to an owner directly, along with any associated charges.

c. If a condominium owner provides occupancy (housing) to non-family members, with orwithout a lease agreement, or monetary exchange, such owner must acquire a RentalHousing License (permit).

d. If the condominium unit is owner-occupied, meaning the unit is the primary residence ofthe owner of record, and such owner is providing occupancy (housing) to non-familymembers while he/she him/herself is physically present during the hosting, such owner isexempt from the rental housing ordinance, if the GUEST or TEMPORARY NON-FAMILY RESIDENTis a person who stays for less than 30 days. However, if anowner absents him/herself (is not hosting) while providing occupancy to non-familymembers for a term between 2-30 days, the owner is in violation of the rental regulationsset forth by the Association, and is subject to a penalty as set forth in this Article.

e. A TENANTis a non-family resident who occupies a condominium town home unitlonger than 30 days and is, for all intents and purposes, occupying the premises on apermanent basis as residence.

f. The Association and the Centre Region Code Administration have means of assessing ifan owner is providing housing that requires a Rental Housing License. Please consultboth organizations.

b. Limitations to Leasing to the PublicOnce an owner has obtained a Rental Permit, they may offer their condominium unit to thepublic for leasing through advertising vehicles of their choice. At such time, owners must abideby existing federal, state, and local ordinances pertaining to matters of rental housing such as, but

not limited to, fair housing practices, noise, animal, housing permits, occupancy, and the like. Itis advisable to inform prospective tenants that they will be expected to respect and follow allcondominium by-laws and policy as residents on the premises. Owners may direct prospectivetenants to the website for information where a section has been prepared specifically for them.Leasing may be pursued with the following limitations:

LIMITATIONS

SHORT-TERMLEASING

(Less than 30days)

a.

An owner cannot lease for a term less than 30 days.b. It is strictly prohibited if a person occupies a condo unit for a term of between 2-30days, whose main purpose of visitation is attendance of a specified event(graduation, concert, sports event, etc.,). Such offering is tantamount to that of acommercial establishment (hotel, motel) and is incongruent with residential locality.Such offering may also be contrary to restrictions set forth by the Rental HousingPermit issued.

ONE LEASE PER

12 MONTHS

ONE LEASE PER 12 MONTHS (365 days). All tenants must appear on the same lease

agreement. The beginning of any 12-month period is determined by the originating dateof the lease term. Leases must be joint and severally liable only. Tenants and landlordscannot sublet.

PERSONS

c. Prior to Tenant Entry On Maplewood PropertyAll documentation requested below must be submitted to the Association BEFOREthe tenant ispermitted to enter Maplewood Condominiums property as resident. Hence, before the tenant ispermitted to move in, the tenant should have (1) a written lease agreement, (2) read all the by-

laws, (3) submitted his/her information form, and (4) should have acquired renters insurance.The Association must verify each document submitted in order that any detectable problem canbe corrected properly at this stage. In addition, since tenants are considered Third Party entitiesvis--vis the Association, a tenant increases the Associations overall liability if on premiseswithout proper insurance.

STEP 5 ACQUIRETENANT

Once a tenant is secured, it is highly advisable, as well as customary, to conductbackground checks such as credit and criminal, before making the offer final.Such customary scrutiny protects owners, and the condominium community atlarge, from experiencing problems that may develop later. Please note that suchsteps are not required by the Association, and are merely suggested for

additional assurance and safety.

STEP 6 SUPPLYTENANT

WITH BY-LAWS

An owner must furnish the tenant with a complete physical copy (or directtenant to the website) of the by-laws and policy. Tenants have the same rightsand obligations as owners, and are subject to all by-laws. Owners areresponsible for keeping tenants informed. The Association is not accountable toa tenant.
